Chapter 874 Priceless Treasures

Luo Chong was quite happy when he heard that officials came to pay him New Year's greetings and give him gifts. This was the first time since the establishment of the Han tribe.

The main reason was that the eight counties of Hanyang were now on track. Even the Nanzhang County, which was established the latest, had been established for more than a year. In addition, Luo Chong did not build a new city in the eight counties of Hanyang this year, so officials from all over the country were not very busy. Those who needed to take a vacation took a vacation. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was no need for them to reclaim land or anything. Naturally, they had free time to study other things, such as preparing gifts for Luo Chong.

Luo Chong was quite looking forward to their gifts. He wondered what these people had prepared for him!

When he asked the maid to call someone in, Luo Chong also stood up and hugged Luo Lan to the door of the living room to greet them.

He heard that several county governors were coming, but he didn't expect that the first person to come in was a lame man wearing a brocade robe and fox fur. He also brought his wife and his four-year-old son.

This guy was originally an old bachelor. Because of his lame leg, he had never found a woman willing to marry him. However, after the Han tribe grew stronger, it also absorbed a lot of people. The lame man had given up the idea of ​​finding a wife. He was not young anymore, but he thought that he would not even have someone to take care of him when he was old. In addition, the conditions were better now, so he found a widow to start a family and gave birth to a child, who is now four years old.

The lame man was very happy today. He didn't have many opportunities to see Luo Chong normally. Today he came to see the leader specially. The guy limped into the yard and saw Luo Chong holding his daughter at the door of the living room to greet him. He immediately took two steps forward and bowed to Luo Chong.

"The lame man greets the leader and wishes the leader a happy new year. I wish the leader a long life and many children and blessings!"

The lame man's wife was a little shy. She was an honest woman. She didn't say anything, but just followed the lame man to bow.

"Well, it's rare that you come to see me today. How are your legs? You seem to be able to walk well." Luo Chong also came forward with his daughter in his arms, helped the lame man up with one hand, and said hello to him.

"Thank you for your concern, Chief. My legs are just like this. They can't be cured, but they don't hinder my walking. I have no problem living." The lame man also stood up and greeted Luo Chong.

"Happy New Year, uncle! Lan'er wishes you a happy new year!" Luo Lan looked at the smiling lame man at this time, and seemed to like him very much. She sat in Luo Chong's arms and took the initiative to bow to the lame man and wish him a happy new year. "

Hey, Lan'er is also happy new year. This is Luo Lan, the most beautiful girl in our Han tribe. Seventh sister, hurry up and give Lan'er a red envelope!" The lame man responded to Luo Lan happily, and hurriedly asked his wife to take out a red envelope for the child.

Luo Lan looked at the red envelope, and then looked at Luo Chong. There was a questioning look in her eyes, not knowing whether she should accept it.

"Come, Lan'er, take it. This is what uncle gave you. Your father won't say anything to you."

"Take what uncle gave you. Remember to thank uncle." Luo Chong nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, uncle." Luo Lan immediately smiled happily, his eyes narrowed into crescents.

When guests came, Tang Yao, Xiaodie and Zhan Ying also led little Luo Cheng out and greeted the guests with Luo Chong. Luo Cheng naturally accepted the red envelope from the cripple, and Luo Chong did not refuse.

The cripple's life is not bad now, and his income is not bad. It is indeed possible to give a red envelope to the children. Luo Chong does not have any burden in his heart. I don't know if it is because of the close blood relationship, Luo Chong's two children and the cripple also get along well. After all, this guy is really related to them by blood.

When there were only a few men in the Han tribe, they were definitely related by blood. For example, Shouya was the son of the leader of the previous generation of the Han tribe. He might be a cousin of Luo Chong. However, I couldn't remember the past, and I didn't have a systematic ranking of generations. Anyway, I knew they were a family, so I just wondered what generation they were.

After a while of greeting, Luo Chong asked jokingly, "I heard you prepared a gift for me? It's not a stone basin, is it?"

The lame man blushed a little. The leader still remembered his ultimate dream back then!

What era is it now? Who still uses stone basins?

"How could that be? The good life we ​​have now is all led by the leader. How can I have the nerve to give out a stone basin?" The lame man responded to Luo Chong's teasing a little embarrassedly.

"Oh? What is that?" Luo Chong asked curiously.

"I prepared two porcelain bottles for the chief. They are useless, just for display. The chief's house is big, so there is room for them. Come on, bring my two porcelain bottles in!"

The lame man explained and asked someone to bring his gifts in.

Luo Chong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This guy who dreamed of grinding a stone basin stopped making tableware and started playing with ornaments!

He also brought it in. Did he burn a water tank for him? One person can't move it?

The next moment, eight guards came in from outside the courtyard gate. The eight of them were divided into two groups. Four people worked together to carry a big guy in. There were two in total, which surprised Luo Chong even more.

"What is this?" Luo Chong asked in some doubt. Are you sure it's a porcelain vase? Four people are needed to carry one vase?

"Put it down, put it down, put it here first." The lame man asked his personal guards to put the two bottles in the yard. There was a wooden tray underneath, and there was a protective frame made of wooden strips around it. The inside was also tightly wrapped with straw curtains, so even if it was moved in front of Luo Chong, he was still not sure what was inside.

The lame man untied the straw curtains himself, revealing a super large vase that was as thick as a person and 1.8 meters high. Luo Chong was stunned, and the others in the yard couldn't help but be stunned in surprise. The people present were all top nobles of the Han tribe. Who hadn't seen porcelain?

But they said they had never seen such a large porcelain.

Luo Chong had seen similar large vases in his previous life. They were usually placed in some company or hotel lobby as decorations, but they were not usually so tall. He didn't expect that the lame man could burn such porcelain in this era, which really shocked him.

While everyone was stunned, the lame man did not stop his action. He unwrapped another porcelain bottle, which was the same size and the same exquisiteness.

"Chief, this is a gift made for you by our kiln factory. The six-fingered guy mixed the clay himself, I designed the shape, the workers pulled the embryo, the Wen brothers painted it, and I watched the kiln firing it myself. A total of ten were fired, but only these two are the best. The others with cracks or uneven glaze were smashed by me. Now there are only these two." "

You are thoughtful. Do these two bottles have names?" Luo Chong sighed, and then asked immediately. Even if these two bottles are not antiques, they are definitely rare treasures in this era. There is only one pair of treasure bottles in the world, which is priceless.

"This, I don't know how to name it. Otherwise, the chief can give it a name!" The lame man scratched his head embarrassedly. He was just a kiln firer, with no culture, so how could he name it.

"Well, let me take a look first."

Luo Chong nodded and hugged his daughter to circle around the pair of large porcelain bottles.

The two porcelain bottles have small bottoms, round bellies, thin necks, and the maximum diameter of the waist is estimated to be about 40 to 50 centimeters. The height is exactly 1.8 meters. The glaze on the bottle body is bright and smooth, without any flaws.

The overall base is royal blue, not the blue of blue and white porcelain, but royal blue, which is darker, but particularly bright.

If it is only this color, it is obviously not a rare treasure. The most important thing is that Luo Chong saw no less than seven colors on these two porcelain bottles.

One of the bottles is painted with a picture of hundreds of birds. The background is royal blue, the ground is earthy, and there are green rocks covered with moss next to it. On the other side of the bottle is a tree. It looks crooked and should be a pine tree. There are kingfishers, orioles, magpies and many other birds that Luo Chong does not recognize on the tree. There are pine nuts scattered on the ground. There are many colorful pheasants and pheasants foraging under the tree. There is a small puddle on the rocks next to it. A bird whose name cannot be called is sticking its head out of the puddle to drink water.

The whole porcelain bottle is colorful, the color matching is harmonious, and the picture shape is vivid, giving people a feeling of walking into nature. All the scenes are vivid and very smart.

If it were in Luo Chong's previous life, it would definitely be one of the rare treasures that cannot be exhibited abroad.

The other porcelain bottle is also painted with royal blue as the base color, and a picture of hundreds of animals is painted on it.

The overall layout of this picture is similar to that of the white bird picture. Both are a tree, the ground, rocks, and two bottles that make a perfect pair.

However, the bottle of the beast picture has a persimmon tree painted on it. There are fallen persimmons under the tree, and domestic pigs are playing and eating the fallen persimmons. There are also a few monkeys swinging on the treetops, some playing, some picking persimmons, and some hitting the pigs below with persimmons.

There are squirrels and snakes on the trees next to it, deer under the trees, and wild wolves hiding behind the bushes. If you don't look carefully, you won't find them. There is a river on the other side of the bottle, with fish, ducks, and geese in the river. There are houses on the other side of the river, and there is a stone bridge on the river. A commoner is carrying a shoulder pole, with a cage of rabbits in front and behind, and a cow in his hand. In front of him, there is a yellow dog wagging its tail and looking back, waiting for the person carrying the load.

The shape is vivid and the meaning is beautiful. More importantly, if you appreciate it carefully, you will find a kind of artistic conception in it.

After watching, Luo Chong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This guy who had originally dreamed of spending his whole life grinding a stone basin, later learned to make pottery and porcelain from Luo Chong. From then on, he couldn't stop and changed his dream. His new dream was to let everyone in the Han tribe use porcelain bowls to eat.

Now this dream has come true. The lame man finally got rid of his low-level interests and began to study art. Moreover, his achievements were so high. If such a pair of treasure bottles were placed in Luo Chong's previous life, it would probably be easy to sell them for hundreds of millions.

This guy is too amazing.

By the way, there are also the pair of Wen brothers who are good at painting. At the beginning, the two were assigned to the lame man to work in the kiln factory. Now it seems that it was really a good assignment. It didn't ruin their talent and opportunity for painting. The two followed the lame man, and there were all kinds of porcelain for them to paint every day. Now, after a few years, the painting level of the two has reached the pinnacle.

I don't know about other things, at least in terms of painting porcelain bottles, they are definitely the biggest among the big guys.
